Greek students who participated in education-abroad activities appear,
based on the data, to be significantly more likely to be considered in-state students
(77.4 percent), many of whom came from towns nearby Lincoln. By contrast, non-
Greek students were less likely to be from in-state (63.4 percent). Research has
demonstrated that students whose hometowns are closer to campus are less likely
to participate in study-abroad activities (Stroud, 2010)—this trend does not hold
much truth in this situation. This may suggest that possibly other demographic
information holds greater significance, or Greek involvement is a key promoter.
